I bit my lip, butterflies erupting in my stomach instantly as he ran a hand through his shaggy brown locks before putting his Sheriff's hat back atop his head. His piercing blue eyes locked on mine then and my cheeks heated up in a scarlet blush. Quickly, I cast my eyes down to my shoes, scuffing the toe of one of them in the mud. I shouldn't even have a crush on him. He was three years my junior, for crying out loud.
Don't need permission, made my decision
But I didn't need anyone's permission. I'd already made my decision.
To test my limits
Besides...I'd always had a bit of a thing for him. Those blue eyes always drew me in.
'Cause it's my business
It was my business anyway if I dated him or not.
God as my witness
He began to walk over to me then and I smiled.
Start what I finished
Leaning against the wooden beam of the porch, I placed a hand on my hip.
Don't need to hold up
He took the steps two at a time before finally reaching me.
Taking control of
"I think dad's still asleep in there..." he started, nodding towards the house behind me.
This kind of moment
I arched an eyebrow at him.
"You wanna go raid that candy store?" he grinned.
I'm locked and loaded
Nerves formed in my stomach at the thought of finally being alone with him.
Completely focused
I couldn't take my eyes off him as he laughed and grabbed my hand.
My mind is open
We arrived at the store soon after and surprisingly, it was empty of walkers.
All that you got, skin to skin
Carl's hand went to my lower back as we strolled inside, making shivers go up and down my spine where he touched me.
Oh my gosh
I bit back a strangled yelp and moved away from him.
Don't you stop, boy
He laughed, noticing my discomfort and took a step closer to me. His Sheriff's hat brushed against my forehead, we were standing so close now.
Something 'bout you
His hands found my hips, pulling me closer to him and I let out a shaky breath I didn't know I'd been holding.
Makes me feel like a dangerous woman
Warmth radiated off of his body at our close proximity and butterflies swarmed in my belly. Honestly, with him so close like this, it made me feel like... a dangerous woman.
Something 'bout, something 'bout, something 'bout you
Like being together was forbidden...but it felt so right. Hot breath fanned my face as he leaned in closer, his fingers gripping me tightly. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my own fingers tangled themselves in his soft hair.
Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn't
Oh gosh, all I wanted to do was just kiss him right now. Kiss him so hard till neither one of us could scarcely breathe. It wasn't right for me to think but I did.
Something 'bout, something 'bout, something 'bout you
His lips were inches from mine now, so close I could almost taste him. My hand slipped down to his neck, those big blue eyes boring into mine so intently, I felt shaky.
Nothing to prove and
The moan of a walker broke us apart then. Sighing, Carl aimed his gun at it.
I'm bulletproof and
A bullet shot out of the chamber, embedding itself in the walker's head.
Know what I'm doing
"Well, time to look for that candy." I said instantly, moving towards the counter.
The way we're moving
I heard Carl shuffle up behind me and my fingers clutched the marble counter tightly.
Like introducing
His warm breath hit my neck, making my skin tingle.
Us to a new thing
Hands went to my waist then, wrapping completely around my middle till my back was pressed up against Carl's chest.
I wanna savor
I closed my eyes, savoring the feeling.
Save it for later
My hands rested on his, intertwining our fingers.
The taste of flavor
I felt his face press into my hair and he sighed.
'Cause I'm a taker
He was close to me again and I felt my heart speed up.
'Cause I'm a giver
All of a sudden, he let go and spun me around.
It's only nature
Blue orbs bored into mine and I felt the air leave my lungs.
I live for danger
I loved how much danger it felt like we were in - being alone like this together.
All that you got, skin to skin
He inched closer to me then, pulling me flush against him. My hands rested on his chest but I didn't push him away.
Oh my gosh
I felt a sigh build up in my throat as he brushed a strand of hair away from my cheek.
Don't you stop, boy
"Don't you stop, boy..." I mumbled against his lips, our foreheads touching now.
Something 'bout you
"Something about you..." I started as his thumbs rubbed circles on my lower back.
Makes me feel like a dangerous woman
"Makes me feel like a dangerous woman..." I breathed out.
Something 'bout, something 'bout, something 'bout you
Before I could say anything else, he cut me off, crashing his lips into mine. I didn't hesitate for one second and instantly kissed him back. Warm plump lips glided across mine, moving in sync with my own.
Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn't
I kissed him back hard - full of all the passion and pent-up feelings I'd had for him all these months. My fingers threaded through his hair, pulling him even closer. His hands roamed up my back, warm palms pressing flat against me.
Something 'bout, something 'bout, something 'bout you
He lifted me onto the counter then and kissed me over and over. All I could feel was the press of his lips and touch of his skin. Tilting my head up, his lips went down my jaw to my neck and back up to my lips again.
All girls wanna be like that
I grinned into the kiss, feeling weak in the knees. I was living every girl in Alexandria's dream right now.
Bad girls underneath like that
But it wasn't every girl Carl was kissing - it was me. I felt like such a bad girl when I was with him.
You know how I'm feeling inside
He knew how he made me feel too because he kissed me even harder.
Something 'bout, something 'bout
Finally, we broke apart for air - the both of us panting now.
All girls wanna be like that
I grinned down at Carl, wrapping my arms around his neck. I was such a lucky girl and I knew it.
Bad girls underneath like that
"Didn't know you were a bad girl underneath," he teased, making me blush as I ran my fingers through his dark hair.
You know how I'm feeling inside
I shrugged as his hands slipped under my thighs to help me down off the counter.
Something 'bout, something 'bout
My feet hit the floor with a thud and I grinned over at him.
"Guess you didn't know me as well as you thought, Grimes." I said, shooting him a wink.
